Just received my rebate from the NPF for up to $15.00.  We also have an
insurance policy that we only have to pay $12.00 for brand names and $10.00
for generic.  The policy costs extra in addition to Medicare, but the drugs
alone pay for the premium.  At lease I can get $12.00 back on the rebate.
It is a group policy with Blue Cross/Blue Shield for our ranch with our son
and myself also on it.  We are so thankful for it.    Nancy B
